alright i have my eyes on the ranho front bumper. my question is what winch will fir on this. i'm leaning to a starter winch. nothing too pricey.

as well what is some recovery gear shoul i get as well.

 

Warn M8000.... Case closed... Best value priced Winch there is

 

Second that. Its a great winch, good line spead, and its got the reliability of warn. I got mine on sale fro 499 from 4wd.com.

Mile markers are slow, and I question the quality of smittybilt. I don't know much about ramsey.

If you have an unlimited, your heavy, get a snatch block. You need a good tow strap or two. A tree saver is a good idea but a strap can be used as well.
One or two 10k shackles are also a must.

 

Worns are great, but you are paying for the name. Patriot 9500ut more hp, more features( auto engage) been around almost as long.

 

I got the Superwinch EPI9.0. They are pretty popular here with a better warranty than warn:

Warn- 1 year electrical, Lifetime mechanical

Superwinch- 3 years solenoid, 1 year other electrical, lifetime mechanical

9000lb capacity, integrated solenoid and cost $503 with the 20% off 4 wheel parts coupon in fourwheeler magazine.

 

this is a very good winch, I've had one for a long time.

 

Had a Ramsey on my TJ for 13 years. Probably used more anyones who had a job.

 

i disagree, Your paying for great customer service and a dependable winch

 

I have the Superwinch EP 9.0, better warranty than Warn at Half the price.


I paid $531 shipped.

 

I'm running a Warn M8000 (as mentioned before in this thread) and I love it. The winch has managed to get me out of numerous jams. I did have it die on my after an extended pull but once I got home and cleaned all of the connections it worked just like new again.
